Sometimes you ask yourself - what makes a good latte? Whether it is a coffee based, or tea... what elements would satisfy your morning palette?
Is it the tea or espresso bean? temperature of the milk? the foam etc......  I feel like I have gotten more…More »

Heads up - there is no 120 happy hour during the winter... I had to learn the hard way by finding out at the restaurant, no biggie.
I thought that this place was getting a lot of hype with an always changing menu so I booked a 530 reservation just in…More »

Don't think of this as a hot dog restaurant... think of it as an establishment with one of a kind meats that you may not be able to find elsewhere, in a sausage casing, served in a hot dog bun, with the option of jalapenos, peppers and sauerkraut at…More »

The coffee is good here - it is silky smooth and has some unique flavours that cater to the season - like pumpkin spice latte (although so popular that it was out last time we went), and the sweetness of a dulce de leche latte, or even a turkish…More »

Running by this coffee shop every time I go for a must-need run, I always tell myself that I need to try this place.... and knowing that they have Yelp Check in deals (1 free coffee for every 10 check ins), it seemed like a no brainer.

This place also…More »

You would never know that there was a downstairs to this place unless you paid attention walking along king street to see the downstairs from the outside.

My coworker swears by this place... and he's a 4-cup coffee a day kinda person. Whenever he wants coffee, he talks about Jimmy's like it's his best friend, yet it's too far of a walk so he settles for Country Style across the street.

I decided to take…More »

One of the places on King that opens until 10pm at night,so it's a good option to order take out when working late, or if you just want to sit in for a casual eat.

They have a good selection of fish - from salmon, to pickerel, halabit, scallops,…More »

This is one of the oldest pubs in Toronto and women were not even allowed in here until the 1900's........... talk about old school!
We came here on a sunday morning for brunch and sat on the patio with a slight breeze.

The brunch menu ranged from 5:50…More »

Recently updated lists from Rachael T.

I Love Apple Pie :) (14)

It doesn't have to be a special bakery, or a dessert shop... as long as there's apple pie.. I'm willing to try (hehe I rhymed!)

Brunch'n Eggs, French Toast, Pancakes & MORE! (6)

"I'll Substitute for Yam Fries Please" (14)

Yummy sweet potato options

Bubble Tea Shops and other Drink Wonders (7)

Don't think that if you go to a bubble tea shop that you are obligated to order something with pearls! There are also many flavours of jellies.. or you can opt out and just enjoy fresh fruit, milk teas, or regular tea. It's a world of choices!

Not Your Average Macaron! (9)

It's a MacaRON, not a MacaROON, Parisian style! C'est Bon, non?

Vancouver Magazine's 101 Best Eats (43)

Backgrounder: In 2008  / 2009, Vancouver Magazine released articles on the 101 best eats in Vancouver. My goal is to try as many as possible.... and give my two cents!

Unique / Top Knotch / Must Try at least Once... OR MORE! (19)

Specialty items that you most likely can't find elsewhere - must try at least once to get the true experience!

Crustaceans and Mollusks anyone? (12)

What are Crustaceans, you ask????
Crab, Crawfish, Lobster, Shrimp................... ................so what do mollusks include??? Anywhere from abalone, clam, cockle, cuttlefish, mussel, octopus, oyster, perwinkle, snail, squid, scallop

Let's go to Gastown Instead... (24)
